Living in Naruto

To be honest, I don't like the atmosphere of the casino, it's too noisy.

"Hey, my dear disciple, you are finally here!"

This is where Mariko is taking me, because Tsunade is here.

"master……"

"Tsunade-sama, I leave Kyo to you!"

Mariko bowed deeply to Tsunade.

"I will handle it!"

Tsunade gave Mariko a thumbs up. She is already very familiar with us. Sometimes she doesn't look like a Sannin in front of us, or in other words, doesn't look like an adult at all. Have you completely given up on your image...

At this time, Tsunade stood with one foot on the stool and rolled up one sleeve, looking very heroic. Opposite her, a group of gamblers with happy faces gathered...

When I saw this scene, I knew that she had already lost a lot today. Is it really okay to continue losing like this? She already owes a lot of foreign debt...

"Everyone, our battle is suspended. Today I want to meet with my most important disciple and my only opponent!"

Tsunade crossed her arms and looked serious.

"The only... rival?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on me, their eyes full of disbelief and admiration.

"..."

"I'm back!"

Turn around and leave, I'm not so bored playing games with Tsunade!

"Are you scared? Do you want to run away?"

Tsunade's mocking voice came over, making me stop in my tracks.

"I'm sorry, master..."

"I have decided not to be a ninja anymore."

Yes, I have decided, so the boring games are over here. I want to live a peaceful life without being disturbed or hurt.

"Have you just decided to give up?"

"That's right!"

"Is that so..."

Tsunade fell silent, and the entire gambling house suddenly became quiet, infected by the breath between us.

"Then I'm leaving, farewell!"

"You can't escape!"

I had already stepped out of the door, but Tsunade's voice reached my ears.

"Shimura Kyo, you can't escape!"

"There is no question of whether I can escape or not. I give up. It's that simple."

"You know your ability, right? It's the same ability as Mito..."

I understand what she means. This ability will not be given up in any ninja village.

"How about that?"

"Bet me! Your fate will never end here!"

Destiny...

What is my destiny, destiny...

I hate fate, it seems that everything is destined, but sometimes I have to say that everything seems to be arranged by God, who I meet and who I am separated from...

This is especially true for ninjas. Meeting and separation will be particularly hurtful, because most separations mean farewell.

It’s extremely painful to say goodbye forever. I will never be able to see her smiling face, hear her voice, or smell the fragrance of her hair...

"It's painful..."

Tsunade's voice came again, and there seemed to be a different emotion in her words, understanding, empathy...

"Yeah." I lowered my head, "It's really, really painful..."

"Mariko asking me to comfort you was really a mistake..."

Tsunade walked out of the gambling house and put her hand on my shoulder: "Let's take a walk together after a long time. I'm not in the mood for gambling today..."

"Ah."

……

Tsunade was talking along the way, telling her stories. This was the first time I heard her talk. Although I have heard most of her deeds, it was still different when she heard it from her.

"So master, you

Have you been wearing this necklace that represents misfortune? "

"The necklace represents misfortune..." Tsunade held the necklace on her chest, "Yes, but it is all my memories..."

"Exchange!"

I don't know why, but I said this sentence naturally. Maybe, I think so. If unfortunately, I am enough.

"This is what I originally planned to give to Yui."

I took out the pink necklace from my arms that I had never given away. "But I didn't give it away in the end. Master, let's exchange..."

Tsunade suddenly fell silent, looking intently at the necklace full of memories in her hand.

"why?"

"I don't know, I just thought about it suddenly."

"That's why I said, you can't escape..."

Tsunade took a deep breath and suddenly smiled softly: "Exchange!"

Putting on a necklace representing misfortune for me, Tsunade smiled: "You know, this necklace not only represents misfortune, it is also a blessing..."

This is a long story. This necklace is a gift and hope from the first generation, and now it has been passed down to me.

"In this way, you will become more like my disciple!"

"Sometimes I'd rather not be..."

"That's right..."

In the end, Tsunade didn't say anything to cheer me up. We both understand that sometimes words alone can't make sense. Tsunade and I have had this exhausting experience, and the people we love died in our arms. .

To be honest, Tsunade also hates being a ninja. There is no doubt about that. She travels around the ninja world and is wild and unruly, which is actually an escape.

How can two people admonish each other if they are both trying to escape?

……

On the same day, Naruto and the others also returned to Konoha, and they all came to see me after learning that I was awake.

"...Now that bridge is called Naruto Bridge!"

Naruto proudly showed off his experience in front of me, like a child who got a new toy.

"Yes, congratulations, Naruto, you have finally grown up..."

"And there's more, the one named Zabuza..."

Sasuke and Sakura were quietly listening to Naruto talk about their common experience, and no one interrupted Naruto. I think they actually wanted to share this experience.

"Kyo Shimura."

When Naruto finally finished his story, Sasuke spoke: "I want to challenge you!"

"Ah, I'm sorry." I looked at Sasuke with a smile, "I don't want to be a ninja anymore..."

"what!"

Naruto and Sakura looked at me in surprise, they were surprised that I didn't become a ninja.

"I understand, does your road finally end here..."

Sasuke didn't show any surprise. He seemed to have expected that I would give up being a ninja.

"Maybe, I don't know, I just feel like I don't want to go on."

"Hey! Jing, how can you give up!"

Naruto grabbed my lapel and was very excited.

"Don't give up? Are you going to take revenge?" I asked Naruto: "If you take revenge, will the dead come back to life?"

"It has nothing to do with revenge!"

"Although I have never met Yui, I know that she must not want to see you like this, Kyo!"

"Enough, Naruto!"

"Sasuke!" Naruto looked back at Sasuke who stopped him: "Why..."

"This is Shimura Kyo's choice. There is nothing wrong with it. Everyone has the right to choose!"

"I don't agree with this choice!"

Naruto ran away without looking back, leaving the few of us where we were.

"I'm sorry, Kyo, Naruto caused you trouble..."

Sakura bowed to me, "We will persuade him..."
